Geese

In response to the ongoing killing of geese at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge and other parks in the name of aviation safety, animal rights activists are holding a protest today, June 26, in Manhattan.

Did you know Canada goose roundups are monstrous? US Department of Agriculture agents typically enter a pond area during early morning, roughly separate goslings from parents, and then stuff the bound, panicked geese and babies into crates. Next, the geese are gassed or shot to death.

Call Mayor Bloomberg's office at 212.788.3000 and demand an end to the slaughter of Canada geese in parks that began Tuesday, June 19th. Families of geese and newly born goslings are being seized from parks; including the goose family pictured at Inwood Hill Park just a week before USDA agents rounded them up for gas chambers.
